NFBC Message Boards

Congrats to Alan and Brad and the other placers. And a special thanks to Greg for getting these leagues set up online so that we could keep them alive. Hopefully most owners are interested in returning for 2024 and we can figure out draft dates that work for everyone.

- Dave

P.S. Go Phillies!!!

Thanks again Greg for making these available and giving us the chance to fill them. And thanks to everyone who has signed up so far. Just a little work left to go to fill AL. Can’t wait for the draft days.

Awesome, Seth. We're getting close in NL Only. My signups show that Harvey is also in so that would get us to 8/12. Need a little push with AL Only however. Last weekend I reached out to as many industry LABR and Tout participants from the Only leagues, but unfortunately so few of them have their DM...

Forgive me if you posted this elsewhere but are there any updates/suggestions on NY hotel arrangements? Greg - are you still locked in at the Hampton Inn? You also mentioned the Holiday Inn earlier in this thread? What are most people doing? Unfortunately I cannot make it to Vegas this year so I wan...

Greg … THANK YOU. Thank you for giving these leagues a chance. I’d love to think that we could fill both an NL and AL Only league by making them available online. It now would make them available to potential new players that haven’t been able to travel to Vegas as well as the many players that have...

I was probably more bummed that anyone when the word first came out that the Only auctions would no longer be happening. These were what first attracted me to the NFBC a number of years ago and was my primary purpose in making the Vegas trip each year. I had already reached out to Greg and we traded...

Unless there’s a late miracle it doesn’t look like AL only is going to fill. But we are only 1 owner away from filling the NL only auction. Who wants the last spot?! Friday morning 10:00 draft time. Help us make at least one of these great auctions happen.

We're so close to filling the NL and AL Only auction leagues for next Friday. Who's up for the challenge??!! NFBC $1,500 NL Auction League LAS VEGAS Bellagio, Las Vegas Friday, March 25, 10 am PT 1. Stephen Marshall 2. Jason Gill 3. Dave Smith 4. Craig Enochs 5. Jeff Devoto 6. Brian Ogan 7. Mike Dug...

Somewhat in line with Mark and Phil, my suggestion would be to pause from 12:00 midnight to 9:00 a.m. (ET). At the very least have the pause from 1:00 a.m to 9:00 a.m (ET). This helps both the east coast drafters at bed time and west coast drafters in the morning. I don't think you would lose a sign...

NL Only Friday morning at 10:00 and is at 9/12 full. AL Only is Friday afternoon at 4:00 and is at 8/12. We’re almost there so help us close these out. This is my favorite format and both leagues have a great group of participants. Definitely has always had that home league feel for me.

It’s last call time for AL Only. Now or never. I hate to see this cancelled for the second year in a row. How about one late push to fill this?!

I'm still holding out hope that we can fill both of these auctions leagues. We had a nice push late last week so now let's close them out. Gekko, Glenn, Winkour, Mager ... you were all regulars in these draft for many years. Any interest this year? Shawn ... are you in the LABR and Tout auctions thi...

If a player is traded to a different league, he would be added to the FAAB pool. This leads to a big part of FAAB strategy in only leagues. Do you spend early in the season for the big callups or wait until the trade deadline for the big trades changing leagues?

I’m signed up for both and ready to go. Love the momentum. Let’s keep it going!

Shawn - I love your idea for the only leagues and a combined champion. But I don’t see how we could pull it off this year with how the signups have already come in. Would love to have you in NL though.

Nice, Coz! Welcome aboard!

With fewer people able to travel to Vegas this year, the NL and AL only auction leagues have been slow to fill. Currently we are sitting at 6/12 in the NL and 4/12 in the AL. These are scheduled be held B2B on Friday, March 26 with the NL auction at 10 and the AL auction at 4. I'm putting out an app...

If you never have been to an NFBC live event, you are missing the “Thrill” of a lifetime. It’s not too late to come to Vegas where you’ll get the added bonus of the first weekend of March Madness. And the best part (at least for some of us Midwesterners) is the extended forecast for Wednesday, March...

I got an email saying this would be the case. But I also see that we lost 2 more entries this morning and are now down to 5/15 filled. I think those 2 shifted to the $400 DC which just filled a league this morning. Is it realistic that we will get 10 more owners and fill this $1K DC? This is my only...

Mark ... Congratulations on the HOF recognition. Your record speaks for itself. I’ve always enjoyed competing in leagues with you, especially the auctions. You’re always willing to engage in conversation and talk baseball. BTW - AL only in Vegas currently has 1 spot left. What do you say?!

Park MGM is currently $174 a night on M-Life for my preferred days of Wednesday through Sunday. Is there an updated discount code or a cheaper option elsewhere for this property? The code that KJ posted earlier on this thread does not appear to be still valid.

While none of these are significant names, here is the list of players that I came across that played less than 20 games at any one position but played their greatest number of games at multiple positions: Christopher Bostick, MIA - 2B/OF - 2 games Andrew Romine, SEA - 2B/SS - 18 games Andrew Velazq...

It was down for me from 6:45 ET to 7:50. I’m glad to hear it wasn’t just me.

Greg ... my critique isn't that rosters locked on Friday, but that there was no notification sent out. It looks like this thread started around noon yesterday. There was still ample time to send an email out to notify everyone. Otherwise, the only way to have known would have been to check the messa...

Crap. Just learned this now as I wasn't on the message board yesterday. I went to make a roster swap and saw that rosters were already locked. While Friday off days are something new, I'm still not sure why it wouldn't and couldn't be treated similar to Monday/Tuesday roster lock. Even an email noti...

Kapler must have been absent for the analytics class on sample size as he used a 5 at bat sample in making the decision to pull Nola. Also, if that was such a key spot in the game to put in a lefty to face Freeman, why did he not even use his top lefty in the bullpen (Morgan). Other curious thing fr...
